Children in TextureView in android

Question

I have a TextureView and I want to add children (couple of Buttons and TextView) for texture view. I could not find any good answer in google. Please help.

Answer 1

No, TextureView is self-closing view and it is neither a layout nor a container view. It is an element / component that doesn't support children. If you wish to place buttons and textviews in textureview, I assume that is because you want them positioned (visually) inside the textureview. If so, I would suggest using a RelativeLayout as a parent for the TextureView and place the textviews and buttons in the relative layout.

<RelativeLayout
    <TextureView  />
    <Button /> <!--...etc.,-->
</RelativeLayout>

Hope this helps.
